It's been a joy to own, and virtually no issues at all with it which is completely shocking given it's a Chrysler product.

Still in pristine condition too <100K miles. If Ford doesn't give me full dollar for it on trade I'll tell them to take a hike and keep it another year.

Really love this spec!
I live 50min away from the Nürburgring, I'd probably kill myself in one of those and if not on the ring then the autobahn is also a good thrill

The 'town' I live in has no amenities, but the city of Cologne is probably the best meeting spot for such a meet, closer to the Ring too.

An interior pic I once spoke about. I’m in love with the blue. Just enough different. Not enough that it’ll bug me in a year. It also matches the exterior so very well.

Ha. Yes. We’ve always been on the same wavelength.

It’s a recent pick up. Wasn’t wearing a few watches. Only rotating between my favorites. So I decided to liquidate the ones I was not wearing and pick up one that I love.

I’ve slowed my watch game dramatically over the last two years. And, I suppose, not surprisingly it’s so much more enjoyable. Less of a hobby these days. Just enjoying wearing a nice watch on my wrist.

Love the spec, that blue is very subtle and not very flashy so I'm sure it will age well.

Congrats Seth! Do you still have the SkyD or did you move it for this GMT?

Either way hope you’ve been well!

That’s a great colour. Congrats on your allocation! I’m still a turbo s and GT3 away from mine! :) I’ll be 100 years old then, I will look really good driving that car…. , parking and pulling my zimmer frame out….

I saw an an all grey/ black RS at my PPF installer with champagne wheels and it looked amazing…. My poor Targa, it was like a kids toy compared to that beast :)

After having my PPF installed, I noticed they when they affixed the engine type lettering on the back they mis-levelled it, and it was annoying to me. I took it back, they realised it wasn’t right, and ordered new lettering and affixed again without any problems. I guess it’s now finally levelled correctly. My OCD is happy again :)

Mis-levelled


Correctly applied….

Haha thanks. I think I got lucky on this one a bit, that and my rep is awesome and have established a great relationship with him. He is now sales manager too, so that’s great for him and me. Bummed about no PTS but got my signal yellow GT3 delivered last year and think the Shark Blue will be a good combo to have. Assuming I keep both, which I’m really not sure I will. This is a July build, so it’s gonna be a while. My GT3 below.

Is your Targa chalk? My wifes Cayenne is that color, its a great one too!

Great for you! Really pleased. The yellow and blue will indeed be a great combo for sure! My dealer did say a GT3 for sure after the Turbo S… I’ll be his first 992.2 Turbo allocation, so I’ll keep the targa until I get the new car (I just got her mid Dec).

Yes, it’s the crayon colour - I guess you call it “chalk” over there. It’s a very classy colour imho. You wife has got good taste clearly

Keep us posted on your choice!

Great eye! Richmond TW9. Are you local?

No, it’s garaged with gates overnight.

It’s now a cesspit of cars being stolen sadly.
